Supplier: Apollo Scientific

Fluorolube® Grease GR-290, ≥95%

Supplier: M I MATERIALS

Used to seal joints and gaps and to effect temporary repairs. Good for sealing flat unground joints. Can be moulded by hand as it is a putty-like substance. For use at ambient temperatures.

Supplier: Welch by Gardner Denver

Use Labovac pump oils with Welch pumps to reduce oil change cycles and maximise performance. This warranty is only effective when using Welch qualified vacuum pump oils.

Supplier: Welch by Gardner Denver

This double distilled synthetic hydrocarbon oil designed for excellent resistance when pumping corrosive gases or vapors. A synthetic base stock that has no aromatic compounds or sulfur which accelerate varnishing, sludging and carbon build-up when pumps are used to pump corrosives.

Supplier: M I MATERIALS

These Apiezon greases are hydrocarbon based, silicone-free and highly resistant to creep, the undesirable phenomenon associated with silicone-based products.

Supplier: PanReac AppliChem

It is a purified mixture of semisolid saturated hydrocarbons having the general formula CnH2n+2 and is obtained from petroleum.

Supplier: Welch by Gardner Denver

A specially fractionated oil for DuoSeal® belt-driven pumps is designed to ensure the highest vacuum performance. The oil is tested to high vacuum levels to meet rigid requirements for vapor pressure, vacuum level stability, and viscosity. DuoSeal® oil is famous for its quality and consistency.

Supplier: VACUUBRAND

Rotary vane pump oil, B
Rotary vane pump oil, B has excellent viscosity characteristics and low vapour pressure. Its exceptional chemical resistance, more stable behaviour when pumping oxidants, acid and alkaline vapours, and the fact that it is better tolerated on contact with skin, sets this oil apart from conventional mineral oils. Even after continuous operation for several weeks and months, the oil ensures the pressure is maintained constantly. Used for priming all RE/RZ series pumps.

Supplier: M I MATERIALS

Medium temperature vacuum grease. Silicone-free. Used when a grease of higher melting point is required.

Supplier: M I MATERIALS

Apiezon N Grease exhibits extremely low vapour pressures at ambient temperatures, 6×10^-10 torr at 20 °C, which are further improved by reductions in temperature to the cryogenic region.

Oil for leybold roughing pump

Supplier: EDWARDS HIGH VACUUM METTLER

A range of Apiezon® greases is offered for use on high vacuum systems and for many general applications in the laboratory. These high purity greases are non-toxic, are easy to apply and clean off and have long shelf lives.

Supplier: Restek

This rough pump oil ideal for MSD and oil vacuum pumps is formulated from crude oil stocks known for their durability and line-lubricating qualities.

Supplier: EDWARDS HIGH VACUUM METTLER

Fomblin® perfluoropolyether oil for use in oil sealed rotary vacuum pumps and are practically a direct replacement for mineral oil in terms of viscosity and vapour pressure. Also it contains Drynert fluid which contains anti-rust and anti-wear additives soluble in Fomblin®. These additives cover metallic surfaces with a protective, corrosion resistant film.
